Question Qn on awk greping values

Hello Experts,

I was trying to awk out some data out of a text file.
Below is a sample file which I have
Code:
xxx ***Wed Jun 28 18:00:59 CDT 2015
avg-cpu:  %user   %nice %system %iowait  %steal   %idle
          17.10    0.00    4.56    2.86    0.00   75.48

Device:         rrqm/s   wrqm/s     r/s     w/s    rkB/s    wkB/s avgrq-sz avgqu-sz   await  svctm  %util

sdd               0.00     0.00    1.00    1.00     0.50     0.50     1.00     0.00    1.00   1.00   0.20
sdf               0.00     0.00   28.00  910.00   865.00  9985.00    23.13     1.38    1.47   0.12  11.70

I want an output like below
Code:
xxx ***Wed Jun 28 18:00:59 CDT 2015
avg-cpu:  %user   %nice %system %iowait  %steal   %idle
          17.10    0.00    4.56    2.86    0.00   75.48

Device:         rrqm/s   wrqm/s     r/s     w/s    rkB/s    wkB/s avgrq-sz avgqu-sz   await  svctm  %util

xxx ***Wed Jun 28 18:01:59 CDT 2015
avg-cpu:  %user   %nice %system %iowait  %steal   %idle
          17.10    0.00    4.56    2.86    0.00   75.48

Device:         rrqm/s   wrqm/s     r/s     w/s    rkB/s    wkB/s avgrq-sz avgqu-sz   await  svctm  %util

Basically, the awk is searching value on columns 1-12 >10 and print the whole line & the header lines.

I managed to get the command to grep the values on columns. But couldn't find a way to just print the 4 lines above the one which start with Device:

Code:
awk -F "[: ]" '{for (i=12;i<=NF;i++) if ($i>=50){print $0;next}}' infile

Thanks in advance
Dev

Your example is a bit odd.
And comparing all the columns with one number is a bit odd, too.
The following demonstrates how the header is stored in a buffer header and how control variables inheader and doheader control the collecting of the buffer and its printing, respectively.
The decision if its the header is done by the (NF<12) condition.
Code:
awk '(NF<12) {if (inheader) {header=(header RS $0)} else {header=$0; inheader=doheader=1} next} {inheader=0; for (i=2; i<=NF; i++) if ($i+0>=50) {if (doheader) {print header; doheader=0} print; break}}' infile

Or, as a multi-liner
Code:
awk '
(NF<12) {
  if (inheader) {
    header=(header RS $0)
  } else {
    header=$0
    inheader=doheader=1
  }
  next
}
{
  inheader=0
  for (i=2; i<=NF; i++)
    if ($i+0>=50) {
      if (doheader) {
        print header
        doheader=0
      }
      print
      break
    }
}' infile

Thank you for the pointer. The output is from a script that runs unix IO stat every minute and spool to one single file. The script you provided is exactly doing what I wanted. After may days of unsuccessful efforts, glad that I could get some help here.
